THE WHITE.

An improved hig arm Sewing Machine.
The advantage Of a high arm, admitting
the passage under it Of bulky garments
without mussing or Soiling the compacting
by them, is too well known Ia require des-
cription. -.
II will last life time and its range OF
work exceeds that of any other machine.
WARRANTED FOR FIVE YEARS.
Among the many advantages OF the
White machine are its needle, seli-sctting in
every sense of the word-always right.
II has the least complicated, the most
simple, durable and complete shuttle ever
made, simplicity in threading being an es-
pecial feature. The shuttle tension is so
arranged that you can increase II or de-
erase il without removing the shuttle from
the machine or disarranglng the work.
All wearing parts of the White are made
adjustable. so that any lost motion incident
% long usage can be easily taken up, thus
avoiding the delay and expense III duplica-
ting parts. The simplicity in threading the
White is uneQualed by any other machine,
and We would particularly call attention
e. the fact in either the upper or lower
thread. there is no hole I" thread through
excepting the eve of the needle.
For Family Use, Dress Making, Tailor
ing, the White is without IA peer.

A New Society to Be Formed.

~
To The Editor Of the Register.
SIR:-Will you allow me brief space
in your valuable paper? Your well known
generosity in discussing fairly both sides
of a question embOldens me to ask this.
A called meeting of the W. U. B. 5. and
w. C.. r. L. resulted in bringing together
about twenty-five ladies Saturday to hear
a proposition for the organization OF
Woman's Sanitary Society, the object oil
which will be to appoint committees to
visit the different wards of the city TO see
that cleanliness and proper conditions
prevail to check the development oi dis
ease-especially now is this needed so
said the gentleman who spoke on this
occasion) in view Of the possible and highly
probable visitation of cholera this season.
He tells us that it is conceded fact that
all disease is under control; that 1t can be
prevented by proper precaqtlon; that only
1eath from old age or accident should De
common; that the water we drink Is
full of the deadly germs; that the lack OF
pI pIoyision to dispose of our garbage, In
creased by the introduction OF natural gas
into our town, thus preventing us from de-
stroying much of our refuse, Is fatality to
our health and lives, and urges women to
form the societies in defense of these mon
strous circumstances, and indeed they are
appalling. Now, Mr.. Editor, comes the
question | would ask. He told US also
there is a Health Board with a presiding
officer, who appoints deputies to attend
to this very work. The taxpayer fur
nishes the money for this purpose. Why
is it not done? Why are women called
upon to volunteer their services in this
work? We hear great deal about women
being "unsexed," ''out OF her sphere,
when she demands her right to have a
voice in selecting the men who shall I'LL
these places of public trust, but when
she is called upon to carry out
these duties for which these men
are appointed or elected as may be, then
she is only filling holy mission for which
she is ''divinely fitted" The question OF
home duty, the pancakes and the coffee,
take wings and womau-lovely woman
descends into the wood of misery, squalor
and vice, free gilt to the suffering, dirty,
sick and diving that "might have all been
prevented" by conscientious exercise oi
duty on the part Ot tnOSe WHO were en
trusted with this vital matter. Now,
suggest, Mr.. Editor, that in view OF the
enormity of the situation and mas
much as these men have failed in their
faith with the public, and good and
competent men acknowledge that there
are women competent, able and willing to
do this work, it to be placed in their hands
let the Sanitary Society formed by the
ladies with power to appoint women to do
this work, who shall be paid by the city,
a large portion of whose women are tax
payers. The work will he done am sure
and our ladies who have already much to
do that their brothers cannot share with
them will be relieved OF the fear of death
to their loved ones through criminal neg
lect. This appeal is made in the interests
OF all, no question of sex considered; the
shadow of the destroying angel over our
homes urges the pen. MARTHA.
